| Coherent speakers from Canada I own and use a pair of Coherent 8s paired with my 45 monoblocks. These are great speakers, comparable and different (not better or worse) than, say, Omega speakers. I am currently running a side-by-side comparison with both speakers and am find... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... I am a SET amp guy and, after testing many speaker and amp combinations, I firmly feel that for my setups a great stand mount monitor paired with good subs is the best way to get great sound. Properly placed and tuned, a single driver system with... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I know that you didn't want other recommendations, but this is sort of in the family: IMO if you are seriously interested in the Nottingham decks you should definitely look at the Pear Audio Blue line. These are the last turntables designed by N... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Sorry to inform but there is no electron transfer through wire. Electrons are for all intents and purposes stationary. What IS traveling through the wires is photons, which makes sense, right?Dude, really???I know that this is Audiogon but bad s... | |
| Yter cables direction As for Cardas, and I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears they never got the memo on directionality. Or maybe they just clearly understand the difference between science and marketing hype. | |
| Yter cables direction I see. If it's the subject of a thread on Audiogon then it must be true?No problem. Please provide us with your proof or other evidence that wire is directional. Something that was NOT written by a cable manufacturer, if you don't mind. | |
| Yter cables direction >>>>>Exhibit A of not knowing what the word directionality means. To think some people accuse me of shooting fish in a barrel....🐟 🐟 🐟 “Not to start a flame war...” Funny! 😀 geoffkait, I'm pretty sure that I know what "directiona... | |
| Yter cables direction Not to start a flame war, but there is simply no such thing as a unidirectional audio cable using copper or silver as it's conductor.It IS possible to introduce bias and selective resistance onto a conductor through active (powered) means, and, of... | |
| clearaudio turntables theoriginalauthor1,The $ USD is not a weak currency. On the contrary all other currencies are lower. Here's a basic macroeconomics fact: a strong currency in the importing country makes imported goods more expensive. | |
| Tube tester: Orange VT 1000 I used to pull tubes from every item in the house just to take them down to the Thrifty Drug Store and test them. I probably ruined more tubes than I realized - it drove my Dad nuts.Drug store testers were "service tube testers" and only performe... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Any chance of a photo(s) of the interior of your PAB Croft.noromance, I will do so as soon as I can. I painted the living room last weekend and have everything packed away. Now it's a rush to restore the room before Thursday.I used to be a dea... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? +1 on the recommendation for Croft. I'm using a Pear Audio Classic Phono, designed and built by Glenn Croft. It's easily the best sounding MM phono preamp I have ever owned and it plays nicely with all of my SUTs for MC needs. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Will no one rid me of this troublesome thread? | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... LOL | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... tangramca, actually I am a former (recovering) dealer. If I had the answer to your question I would probably still be a dealer today.In the 1970s and into the 80s there used to be dealers like you describe; I worked for one in the 1970s. But the... |
